Love The Continues To Flow

No one has greater love [nor stronger commitment] than to lay down his own life for his friends. John 15:13 (Amp.) I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too are to love one another. John 13:34 (Amp) As Christ has loved us we are called to love one another. Be a conduit of His unconditional love. Walk ln love and live out loud His love in every area of our lives, privately and publicly. As His love continues to flow from on high, let it penetrate us and spur us to show HIs love in the world. The love of Christ forgives and reconciles. Consider today who you have not forgiven and extend grace. Consider those whom you have walked away from and severed all ties with and let the spirit of reconciliation manifest in your heart and actions. Christ was the greatest example of love. Let us continuously strive to follow His example with our whole heart and without any form of hinderance. Let the love of Christ continue to flow through us as it flows to us. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Happy Resurrection Sunday

We Rise Because He Rose

 The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?  He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee, that the Son of Man[a] must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that he would rise again on the third day.” Luke 24:5 (NLT) Jesus is alive. The ultimate act of love is complete. We can live whole and free, because He set us free.. We can rise above all, because He rose. We live in victory, because He rose in victory. Today, let us celebrate our Risen Savior. Keep Rising In His Name! ADaubon

Freedom Friday

As we acknowledge the sacrifice of Christ let us meditate on Him. “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”  – Romans 5:8 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” – John 3:16 “Then he said to them all: ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.’” – Luke 9:23 As we reflect and remember all that Jesus endured to set us free, let us bow down and worship Him. Then rise and worship Him with our life, lifestyle and living. He picked up His cross and died for us. Let us pick up our cross and live for Him. Press Forward! ADaubon

Walk In Love

No one has greater love [nor stronger commitment] than to lay down his own life for his friends. John 15:13 (Amp.) If you have ever doubted that you are loved, consider the ultimate sacrifice that was made for you. Remember you are loved with a self-sacrificing, everlasting love. In return offer your unwavering, committed, and appreciative affection towards the Lord. As He carried His cross as a symbol of His love for us, let us pick up our cross and follow Him. Love lifted us from a life of sin and set us free from all that seeks to keep us bound. Intentionally show love every day and let it be the gift that keeps on giving. Walk in love! Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

He Is…

When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?” The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.” Matt. 21:10-11 (NIV) “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Matt. 16:15 (NIV) Lord, as we take this time during Holy Week to remember who you are to us in every way. You are our Risen Savior whom we celebrate every day. You are the Way Maker and the Bread of Life. You are our deliverer from all our pain and strife. You are our Prince of Peace. By your shalom we experience sweet release. You are the Good Shepherd, who leaves us longing for nothing and wanting only to be closer to you. We sing Hosanna as we offer up all the praise that is due. In Jesus name, amen. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed and refreshed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Psalm 23:5 (Amp.) The God of more than enough endlessly provides for us. He causes closed doors to open in spite of those who try to keep them shut. Every ordained opportunity unfolds in due season. All that God is doing in you, through you and for you is prepared by Him with purpose and precision. Get ready for the overflow. Press Forward! ADaubon

The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me], I shall not want. He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still and quiet waters. He refreshes and restores my soul (life); He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Psalm 23:1-3 (Amp.) God is the good shepherd who watches over our life. He orders our steps and lovingly guides us on the right path. He provides all of our needs, even the ones we are unaware of. When we are weary, He refreshes us. When we feel depleted, He breathes life back into us and restores every part of our being. He renews our hopes, dreams, bodies, hearts and minds. He lifts the heavy burdens and comforts our hearts. He gives hope to the hopeless, strength to the weary, rest for the tired, peace to the troubled and increased faith when we are tempted to give up. The shepherd of our soul knows just what we need and is faithful to provide. Rest in Him and be refreshed. ADaubon

Monday Meditation

The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. Exodus 14:14 (NIV) The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm. (NLT) When everything seems uncertain and you’re feeling overwhelmed, place your trust in the One who is at the helm. Take your hands off of the situation and let Jesus take the wheel. Instead of fighting in your own strength, rest in Him and be still. Give it to God and let Him fight your battles and bring you through dangers you can’t see. You are covered by His power and walking in His favor, grace and mercy. Activate your faith that moves mountains and place your hope in God Almighty, El Shaddai. He sees your pain and hears your inner cry. He is faithful to respond and has already made a way. Surrender it all to God and let the potter mold the clay. He is working on you and your situation simultaneously. Rest in Him, be still and walk in victory. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Experience Exponential Development

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. Romans 5:3 (NIV) God let your light so shine in us so you can get all the glory. Guide us through this life as you unfolded the pages of our story. Even in our suffering we acknowledge that you are working it all together for our good and your purpose for our life. We need you to help us as we navigate vicissitudes, tribulations and unexpected strife. Let our pain produce power. Help us to trust you more every hour. Let us be rooted in you with unshakable faith that grows exponentially. As we defy all odds you’re strengthening our testimony. Divine perseverance is a must and what was meant to break us will only build us. Press Forward! ADaubon
